The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1887-08-12

In climbing the tree in my enthusiasm ever
the scenery had forgotten my gun aud like
wise small flask Of liniment, useful in treat
ing the bite OF large and deadly serpents
which infest that region. The bear found this
liniment, and when / saw him lean back with
dreamy eyes, emptying that flask into bis
cOuntenance, knew trouble was bruin.
Nothing is more painful to true sportsman
than to sit for lonely hours on an uncushione,l
knot in the fork Of desolate tree, watching
che gradual progress of a drunken bear
toward feelings inclining him to homicide.
When the flask was empty and the bear was
full. noticed he plainly saw two sportsnen
in the tree overhead and was trying to make
up his mind which would be better 70 save
for breakfast A dozen yards away was 4
wild bees nest, and In fetching the gravel
swipe to sharpen up his claws a bit he at
traCted the attention Of the colony, aud they
attracted his attention half minute later
They likewise attracted mine, and between
me, the bear and the bees, things began 70
freshen up neve. have seen a bear take so
deep Hn interest in q sub isct OH short notice.
He clawed the air and hoated lightly about
in the wind, threw back solnersnuits and
waltzed with great rapidity, and in less than
n minute, when slid down the Il 80 and took
bee line for camp, the bear TOOK an ursaliIle
for the woods and saw him no more.
AS it happened, / lost that bear and threw
away great opportunity, but IL it had nes
been for those bees think may safely and
without Dragging say that there would have
been plenty Of meat under that tree in a few
minutes.
Buffalo are fine, large game, and their
robes arc highly priced in places where ths
climate is unfavorable TO heas A large buff
falo robe should be in every sportsInan's
room, but it is somewhat easier to get when
the buffalo does not happen to be inside Of 1t.
Elk ars TO be found in North America, but
they will be twice as plentiful in the fall of
tho year when the 'Wild West show comes
bark with the other two.
The game fishes Of North America are the
brook trout, the black bass and the canned
salmon. There is also the sucker. The trout
and the bass are gamier when in the watcr,
but the sucker Is the gamest fish In the world
one hour after you take him out OF the water,
and he gets gannier and gau,ier every minute.
He is a llne, strong fish, and he gains strength
all day.
There Is good and economical fishing In the
Restigouche river, Now Brunswick. The
sportsman can purchase q membership in the
Restigouche club Tor $4,000. and his expenses
while there do not exceed $500 week. He
may return after.a fortnight and ship fine
large salmon TO his friends from the Fulton
market at 40 cents pound.
The greatest difficulty encountered by the
angler Is iii obtaining tie proper expression
to be worn while coming home The man
who has taken fish OF the size known as a
acorker," comes home with an open counte-
nance Indicative OF great joy, and though the
sun and the black hi,s have given his COM
plexion the general characteristics Of an over
done waffle, he Is proud and content.
The sasidest sight know Is that Of the man
In his prime, who left home by the early
train, full Of hope and applejack, for . qpieE
Sabbath, returning In the purple twilight
with e27O worth OF tackle and one four-inch
fish. He dare not look bis fellow man in the
eye, and be Is thoughtful and introspectise,
goes across lots and concocts an irgenious
anecdote about losing q fish which would
weigh seven pounds. New York World.
